A stunning social satire from the author of the bestseller "A Gentleman in Moscow": Amor Towles tells with a wink of elegance how a woman from the provinces outsmarts the glamorous world of Hollywood. After Eve breaks up with her boyfriend in New York, she sets off for Los Angeles. Shortly thereafter, she is seen with the famous Olivia de Havilland in the trendy spots of Hollywood. It is the time when "Gone with the Wind" is being filmed, and studios are competing to snatch up actresses from one another. The equally sophisticated and enigmatic Eve reveals little about herself, confusing every wannabe and fraudster she encounters, until she is the one who laughs last.
